I'm not sure if there is a bigger platform here on Lemmy discussing new releases, but Barbie was awesome. I had a smile on my face pretty much the entire time. The kens were hilarious. I thought it was a bit heavy handed at times but as a male, I'm sure it's just a bit of ignorance on my part.

Would love to hear what everyone's thinking!

I didn’t mind it but not gushing over it like some are.

Think it was a bit disjointed in parts and didn’t need the mother daughter arc. Definitely not a movie for kids although the bright colours and familiarity of characters would be attention grabbing. Thematically quite adult with some cool little philosophical-y bits thrown in.

On the plus side it was fun, self aware but not taking itself so seriously while getting a positive message across.

Not horrible, not great was my take. 7/10.
